What is Dental Tourism?

Medical tourism refers to people traveling abroad to get lower-cost dental care. It is a fast-growing field of medical tourism and many people often combine medical attention with exploring their destination as tourists.

In regions such as Europe or the USA, dental care has very high costs, which often prevents people from getting the care they need. This may have negative consequences on people’s health and lifestyle. Therefore, dental tourism may be a good alternative to be able to receive the medical attention you need and an opportunity to explore a new destination.

There are many concerns when thinking about having medical procedures abroad. For example, dental standards and language barriers. However, Costa Rica is one of the most sought-after dental tourism locations because it mixes the two main reasons people go abroad to have dental work done: high standards in dental care and a wonderful tourism experience. The high standards and regulations of the Health Bureau (Ministerio de Salud) and the College of Dental Surgeons of Costa Rica help assure the quality and safety of dental procedures in the country. Costa Rica is also an excellent choice for a tourist experience. It offers many bilingual services, and there are alternatives for people seeking adventures and people seeking to relax in five-star resorts as they enjoy nature all around.

The Dario Chaves Dental Care Clinic is located in Jacó, Costa Rica. It offers the possibility for you to have dental work done with licensed and experienced English-speaking professionals, receiving dental care of the highest standards, with the best restorative techniques and the finest materials, as you enjoy an adventure in the Central Pacific coast of Costa Rica.  The clinic has been offering the best dental services on the coast since 2003 and it meets all the requirements of the Health Bureau. This way, you may go have your dental work done as you explore a new country with a rich culture and biodiversity. If you need cosmetic procedures like veneers, porcelain crowns, implants, and teeth whitening, or if you need non-surgical periodontal therapy, digital x-rays, fluoride treatments, tooth-colored fillings, bridges, and dentures, among others, wait no longer to get the service you need.
